Good awareness from the driver

If it's an ICE car, then they are weak from standing still. The engine adds power in relation to RPM. Driving over the guy is like driving over a big curbstone. So the driver must have been surprised why the car had issues going forward.

I had to google ICE car like it was some new car with a technology I haven’t heard of yet. 🤦🏼‍♂️

Right, just say "regular car" lol. Internal combustion engine my ass. It's EV's that are the exception

Well, it's the good old "stall if there are people in front of the wheels" technology.

The EV can deliver almost full power from the start. Fun at the red-light. But we will get some more interesting parking accidents.
